Tour was great. Perfect amount of walking, great highlights of the city’s history. Patrick was a great guide and frankly made the tour more enjoyable with his knowledge of the history but also local restaurants and watering holes making it a wholesome experience

Loved the tour. If you are looking for a primer on Denver look no further. Kristina with a "K" was engaging and very knowledgable. Moreover, you could tell she has a love for the city. Well paced tour with a couple of breaks for pics and bio. Would recommend and looking forward to another tour.
